modifying stats

[Jinx]

just a quick question to those that know about FLHook and the cheat protection...

- can the camera position in chase view ( shiparch.ini ) be modified to a longer distance from the ship?
- can the turret camera be adjusted in the COCKPIT/xxxxxxx.ini ?

there are some ships that are neat to play - but almost unplayable due to the camera being wrongly applied to the ship.... :

- turanic LF ( chase view is way too close to the ship )
- KS HF ( chase view places the ship in a way that its too much in the way for any serious pvp )
- havoc MK2 ( turret camera is almost placed inside the ship )

.... socan those be manually adjucted without a cheat detection? or can t we meddle with the camera views...

Well as far as I know you can modify distance for external camera and that wouldn't affect cheat detection, though I would notice I did that like more than a year ago when I tried huntress ship and felt like camera was severely misplaced (had I known that the ship is really that bad, but that was when I barely started playing the game). Actually I recall modifying camera ship external camera distance for better view when I did recording of RM vs TBH event. I suppose it's not harmful for camera ship, but the rest - not for me to say, either way best to ask admins what they think about it.

Hmm, wouldn't this give you an unfair edge over others using the same ship? I mean, I wouldn't have a problem with it, but others might

i would love to have my camera angle adjusted. perhaps this could be added into the new server commands. being able to switch between preset camera angles would be useful

here is just an example of how the ship can obscure the view

the smaller part below is how much an eagle occupies the screen - the ship itself is the default chase view - turret view is the larger square. its nothing really dramatic...

in a way, its correct that altering the view distances might give advantages. - when altering the distance on capital ships - ( and if you don t get sick from the turret view spinning around an imaginary center ) you can keep a much better overview over close combat when turning the distance furhter away - however, you may also get into trouble aiming at targets that are further away.

the havoc MK2 is even more screwed up when in turret view. - well, to be sure, i ll ask an admin if i can test to change them ( i m sure we can adjust them for 4.85 anyway )

The Camera ship has its Camera thingies changed...

You could probably do similar and nice job Jinx! Why didn't I think about fixing the camera angles on ships!

99.9% sure that the cheat protection s/w does not care or check for this sort of thing...meddle away.

Rather you didn't 'meddle' so to speak, on the server ... Nor anyone else for that matter, thank you. - Hoodlum
